Koran Angelfish (Juvenile)

Koran Angelfish (Pomacanthus semicirculatus)

The Koran Angelfish, also known as the Semicircular or Halfcircled Angelfish, is a highly popular and resilient species. In its adult form, the body exhibits a yellow-green color transitioning from light to dark along its length. Lighter areas are speckled-blue, while darker regions have a more yellow-speckled appearance. The head is plain yellow-green with sapphire-blue gill margins and eye rings, and the fins are outlined in sapphire blue. As a juvenile, it appears black with white and blue stripes.

To thrive, the Koran Angelfish requires a 250-gallon or larger tank with ample live rock for hiding and grazing on slime algae and cyanobacteria. However, it is not suitable for a reef aquarium as it tends to nip at stony and soft corals, as well as clam mantles.

Ensure a varied diet by offering Spirulina, marine algae, high-quality angelfish preparations, and mysis or frozen shrimp at least three times a day.
